The blooming of a new Startup Europe project: My Gateway!

Last week, in Budapest, the kick off meeting of a new Startup Europe project took place. A project which aims to connect entrepreneurs in the Czech, Romanian and Slovenian ecosystems: My Gateway.

At the meeting project partners got to know one another, got a glimpse of what tasks and roles everyone will be carrying out and got an insight into the ecosystems we’ll be working with. We also had the pleasure to meet the representatives of the three Balkans countries we’ll extend our network to: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Serbia.

 

 

Europa Media, the leader of the project, showed some bursts of creativity in the organisation of the meeting, and planned activities where the partners’ knowledge of the project was tested! All Work Package leaders (yes, that’s how we divide the work in the project) were asked to gather their teams and quickly present what their tasks are about. Some real eruptions of imagination and outburst of drawing skills were detected in this part!

    

Once this exercises finished, one by one, we pitched our work plan, requirements and ideas which gave rise to doubts that were asked and answered as the meeting progressed.

After the meeting, we could not miss out on the chance of strolling down the river Danube, treasuring the beauty of the buildings that overlook it.

The following day we went through some technical requirements we will all master at some point!

To conclude, we all know the project will change and adapt during the 24 months of its course, responding to the changing needs of the startup world, but the main focus will always concern the connection amongst the ecosystems guaranteeing growth and knowledge exchange. The project’s website will soon be up, so bear with us and find out more about the Central and Eastern Europe countries!
